A Tennessee bride has come under fire for walking down the aisle with her newborn daughter fastened to her train.

Shona Carter-Brooks married Johnathan Brooks in Ripley, Tenn., last weekend and the couple honored their one-month-old daughter, Aubrey, by strapping her to the dress train.

An image of the unusual wedding ritual was posted on the KBLX radio station Facebook page and quickly went viral, receiving over 2,000 likes and 4,000 shares. Commenters mocked the bride: “No child left behind,” one person wrote.

Lifestyle website Clutch poked fun at the incident with a story titled “Another wedding WTF!” Some commenters questioned whether the mother was endangering the child. One reader wrote:

Somebody should have called child protection services. I guess it’s not against the law to have idiots for parents. Nobody in the immediate family could see how stupid this was. I just don’t understand this.

Carter-Brooks defended her decision on her personal Facebook page, writing that the baby was “awake and well-secured” to the train and “covered by Christ.”

In another post she wrote:

My father said, “Folks need to get a life!” Who asked for their opinion? He said, “I ain’t have to ask noun for nothing and it was my day!” He said media, family, or associates if you got a problem we can solve it and that’s not talking on Facebook. So with that being said, signing off now! God is forever in control in our life, so everyone be bless!!
